less jawin A Word For Poreveh
Pareveh, based in Washington, D.C., is the Alliance for Adult Children of
Jewish-Gentile intermarriages.
It calls itself “the only organization in the world that addresses the needs
and concerns of the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of
Jewish-Gentile intermarriage.”
Since its first beginnings with a press conference last September,
Pareveh has had what it calls “a heartening and overwhelming response
from hundreds of individuals and organizations across the country.”
Among the callers to this strictly volunteer organization to stem the
soaring rate of intermarriage “roughly 50 percent identify as religious or
secular Jews, 25 percent as religious or secular Christians and 25 percent
belong to other faiths or have no religious affiliations.”
The group was organized to stem the soaring rate of intermarriage. It
claims: “The intermarriage rate has soared in recent decades, from about
50 percent nationwide in 1950 to as much as 60 percent today in
Washington, D.C. and Denver.” But, Pareveh states the intermarriage rate
is 30 percent in Cleveland and 15 percent in New York.
Pareveh states that “by conservative estimate, there are 300,000 to
600,000 children of intermarriage in the United States today, representing 5
percent to 15 percent of America’s 5.8 million Jews and an unknown
percentage of America’s Christians. By the year 2,000 ... half of the Jews
living in America will have intermarried. And by 2050, a majority of
American Jews will be the products of intermarriage.
Among Pareveh’s plans are the following:
1) Establishing more Pareveh chapters. Currently, chapters are
meeting in Washington, D.C., and New York City. New chapters are forming
in Philadelphia, San Diego, and other cities.
2) Preparing books, pamphlets, and newsletters on subjects of interest
to parevehs.
3) Expanding the reach of our Speaker’s Bureau.
4) Assisting Jewish- and Christian-identified parevehs in finding
houses of worship in which they feel comfortable.

Conservative fhink-Tank Wants Closer
United States/Israel Military Ties
Texas Jewish Post
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON
Considerably greater military
cooperation between the
United States and Israel is
proposed by the influential
Heritage Foundation "to
strengthen deterrence of the
Soviet Union in the strategic
area” between Nato's southern
flank in the Mediterranean and
the Persian Gulf.
The State Department
declined to comment on the
new study by the conservative
research organization whose
Middle East expert concludes
"Israeli-American strategic
cooperation is not a panacea
that will blunt all Soviet
threats in the Middle East, but
without it, the world will be a
more dangerous place.”
"Such cooperation deters the
aggressive action of Moscow
and its regional clients,
encourages Arab states to opt
for a negotiated settlement
rather than military action in
the Arab-lsraeli conflict, and
strengthens NATO’s southern
flank,” the study by James
Phillips, says, "Israel has much
to offer the U.S. in terms of
military intelligence, technical
innovation, access to air bases
and naval facilities, and a pre-
positioning site for fuel,
medicine, ammunition, and
weapons. Washington should
work closely yet discreetly with
Israel in order to transcend the
zero-sum nature of the Arab-
lsraeli conflict.”
Phillips noted that former
Israeli Prime Minister
Menachem Begin proposed a
military pact between the two
countries during his September
1981 visit and President

Jordan's Closing Fatah
Offices Blow To PLO
JERUSALEM (WNS) - Israeli
analysts on June 8 described
Jordan’s closure of El Fatah’s
operational centers in Amman
as a major blow to PLO chief
Yasser Arafat. They described
the centers as a vital link
between the PLO leadership
and residents of the
administered territories. El
Fatah is the terrorist arm of the
PLO loyal to Arafat.
Defense Minister Yitzhak
Rabin called the Jordanian
action "a development in the
right direction.” Addressing
the Yeshiva University -
convention here, he said the
closures would restrict PLO
activities in the territories and
reduce terrorism there.
The official communique
issued in Amman on July 17
said the PLO offices shut down
were the ones that were
reopened over a year ago
following the rapprochement
between Jordan's King Hussein
and Arafat. They were closed,
the communique said, in
response to PLO attacks on
Jordan. The Hussein-Arafat
relationship disintegrated early
this year prolonged efforts by
Hussein to convince Arafat to
bring the PLO into the Middle
East peace process leading to
negotiations with Israel.
Hussein announced in February
that he was abandoning those
efforts because the PLO
leadership was "unreliable.”
The centers shut down by the
Jordanian authorities include
the office of Abu Jihad;
Arafat's deputy in charge of
Fatah’s terrorist activities, and
the office of "Force 17,”
Fatah's elite corps which was
used to protect Arafat and
other PLO leaders and engage
in terrorist activities. The
Jordanian communique
affirmed the legitimacy of the
PLO as the sole representative
of the Palestinian people. The
moves against the Fatah
centers were intended to
weaken the Fatah leadership
rather than the organization
itself according to Israeli
analysts.
The PLO’s initial reaction was
to attack Jordanian Premier
Zeid A-Rifai for trying to create
an alternative leadership to the
PLO. Some East Jerusalem
Arabic newspaper condemned
the move. Hanna Seniora, the
influential editor of Al Fajr said
Jordan's action would end
whatever Jordanian influence
remained in the territories.
Shamir Had Talks With Shin Bet Chief
On Killing Captured Terrorists
JERUSALEM (WNS) - Foreign
Minister Yitzhak Shamir
acknowledged that he had a
"conversation” with Shin Bet
chief Avraham Shalom about
killing terrorists captured
alive but insisted there was
never a standing order to do so
while he was Prime Minister.
Shamir made the statement
in an interview published in
the weekly magazine Monitin.
It was his second published
commentary on the Shin Bet
affair since the Supreme Court
gave the government two weeks
to show cause why it should
not launch an investigation
into allegations that Shalom
ordered the killing of two
Palestinian bus hijackers after
their capture by the Israel
Defense Force in April, 1984
and subsequently engaged in
an elaborate cover-up of the
Italian Justice!
case. Shamir was Prime
Minister at the time.
With respect to killing
terrorists taken prisoner,
Monitin quoted Shamir as
saying, "This was not an
instruction. This was in the
nature of a conversation
between (himself) and Shin Bet
chief Avraham Shalom and that
does not mean you were

Achille Lauro Hijackers Get Life
ROME (WNS) - Mohammed
Abbu Abbas, the Palestinian
leader who masterminded the
Achille Lauro hijack, and two of
his aides were sentenced to life
imprisonment by the Genoa
Criminal Court on July 10. All
three have been tried in
absentia. The court sentenced
Maggied El Molgi, 23, who led
the for-hour hijack team to 30
vears imprisonment.
El Molgi had also been
charged with the murder of
Leon Klinghoffer, the 60-year-
old Jewish American invalid,
who according to the
prosecution was shot to death
and his body thrown overboard.
The court found none of the
15 defendants, 14 Palestinians
and one Greek, guilty of
Klinghoffer’s murder which
seems to indicate, according to
Italian legal experts, that the
evidence on the circumstances
of Klinghoffer’s death was
considered too circumstantial
to warrant a conviction.
The experts said that six
defendants, the three
Palestinians who drew life
sentences and three of the four
hijackers, were implicity found
guilty of Klinghoffer’s death
but none was found guilty of
having actually fired the shots
which killed him. They had all
been found guilty of
"kidnapping for terrorist ends
which resulted in the death of
a person.”
The court sentenced the
three Palestinian leaders and
the three hijackers to
individually pay 30 million Lire
(approx. 20,000 Dollars) to
each of Klinghoffer’s two
daughters, lisa and Lisa.
The verdict was announced
in a packed and heavily
guarded court. Presiding Judge
Lino Monteverde read the
verdict after the two
professional judges and the six
jurors, three women and three
men, had deliberated for three
days and nights in a secret
location.
As Monteverde read out the
Court’s findings at the
conclusion of the 17-day trial,
the defendants stood up in
their iron cages shouting "Long
Live Palestine" and "Long Live
Italian Justice.”
The court acquitted four of
the defendants while the
others were given from six
months to seven years and six
months. The court cleared all
the defendants of "belonging
to an armed gang,” a charge
generally used for terrorist
activities.
